Tragic

This is so incredibly sad.

Daughter of gospel star Steven Curtis Chapman hit, killed by car

Do you remember this song (below), by SCC, from 5 or 6 years ago? It's almost prophetic. I always found the song comforting and shared it with my friends Morley and Heather when they lost their 18 month old son Evan in an accident two years ago.

Lord, send your Spirit to your broken ones.


With Hope


This is not at all how
We thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreams
And now you've gone away
And left us with the memories of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you, but ...


We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no
And we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
(There's a place by God's grace)
There's a place where we'll see your face again
We'll see your face again


And never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more
The wisdom of God's plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see the Father's smile and say well done
And I imagine you
Where you wanted most to be
Seeing all your dreams come true'
Cause now you're home
And now you're free, and ...


We have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is true, so ...


So we can cry with hope
And say goodbye with hope...


We wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope...

That is so sad. I read about it yesterday. I enjoy his music and have always heard such good things about him and his family.

My heart hurts for this dear family. I love his music.

What a beautiful song, so fitting right now. What a tragedy.
